Louis Lapierre
Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University.
Scientist with primary interests in metabolism, autophagy, lysosomes and age-related diseases. Striving to translate molecular discoveries in model organisms into therapeutic solutions in humans.
The Lapierre laboratory uses a combination of biochemical, genetic and molecular approaches to study aging in a well-established aging research model, the nematode C. elegans. Our focus is to expand our understanding of the biology of aging by investigating the autophagy/lysosomal pathway, a central longevity mechanism.
